Faithful Services Observation-Disclosures
John D. Todd, of Mount Vernon, Falls road, is
one of the most efficient officers on the county
force and his efforts to discharge his duties faith
fully are appreciated by the people on his beat.
On Monday night last officer Todd received an
invitation to a house on Chestnut avenue and
upon reaching there met, to his great surprise,
about forty of his young friends, who, after pre-
senting him with a solid silver star, invited him
to partake of an elegant supper which they had
provided. An hour or two was very agreeably
spent, after which the company dispersed. When
officer Todd first took charge of the Mount Vernon
beat he made, ON an average, thirty arrests a
month. Now, however, it is unusual for him to
mako over five.

Ran Away with Team and a Load of
Wheaton, Saturday morning last Mr.. Charles
B. Parks, farmer of Texas, Sth district, started
his four horse team in charge of William Poteet,
to Bryan's mill, on the Falls road, near Brook
hndville, with sixty bushels of wheat which had
been sold to Mr.. Bryan. Instead of going to the
mill, Poteet headed for Baltimore, and as he did
not return Saturday night, Mr.. Parks became un-
easy and started to look up his team. Going to
the mill he learned that it had not been there and
he then went on to Baltimore and placed the mat
ter in the hands of the police. A search was in
sttuted and the team was soon found in wagon
yard, but Poteet and the best horse were missing.
Officer John D. Todd, of Mount Vernon, heard on
Monday that man with horse was at Biddy
Rice's drining place, at Guilford Station on the
Maryland Central road, and that he had been
Ispa.ding money freely with gang he had met
there. The officer went to Rice's and there found
Poteet He took him to Baltimore station house,
where Mr.. Parks identified both the horse and
teamster, and the latter was brought out to Tow
sontown. Poteet had sold the wheat to Mr..
Blackburn, commission merchant in the city,
who paid him $50 for it. He then bought him
self a new suit of clothes and started out horse
back to have good time, bringing up at Rices,
where officer Todd found him. He had very little
of the money left when he was arrested. Poteet,
it appears, is an old offender. He is about fifty
years of age and has already served two terms in
the pententiary, the last one for stealing mule,
and he went to work for Mr.. Parks just after be-
ing released the last time. He is said to be an
intelligent man and No. hand, but that he will
90 on occasional sprees. He had not attempted
to sell the horse. Mr.. Parks gave officer Todd
$25 for the arrest of the thief and the return of the
horse.

Opposed to the Crematory.-The Sun
says: "The Baltimore Cremation Company has
entered into an agreement with the property
to sell the lot recently bought by the company at
Charles street avenue and Brooks street for site
for the proposed furnace and other appliances for
burning the dead. The property owners agree to
take the lot at price to be agreed upon by three
arbitrator, one to be selected by the company,
one by the property-owners, and the third by the
two thus selected. The company agrees to sell
the lot at the price to be named by the arbitrators
and to go out of that neighbOrhood for the pur-
pose of building a crematory. The lot bought by
the company is several blocks north of the boun-
Diary, in the midst of an attractive and rapidly
improving residence section. The proposal to
erect building for the Incarceration of human
bodies met with an emphatic protest from the resi-
dents and property owners in the neighborhood,,
and several meetings were held for the purpose OF
organizing opposition to the project. 1t was pro-
posed to buy the lot, but the company asked
large advance upon the price paid for it on the
ground that it had increased in value. Negotia-
tions were opened, which resulted in the agree
ment for arbitration"

Spring Weather and the Ground Hog
The Baltimore Eoening Ne,os says: "The ground
hog has not made such signal failure as pIoph-
ct after all. The goose-bone the corn. shuck, the
nut-crop and all the oracles and symptoms were
at fault in the early part of the winter and it was
believed the grounding would be tripped also.
The I'd of February was cloudy and gloomy and
we have had decidedly warm weather ever since.
If we have had snowfalls they were light and the
snow melted and vanished almost as fast as it fell.
We have had lightning and thunderstorms and
April showers in the past two weeks with some
days that tempted the removal of thick under
clothing. But as human nature is always prone
to remember the disagreeable above the blessings,
so if we have two bad days in a week there is a
deeper impression made on the average person
than by the five good days which have passed
comparatively unnoticed. We may have a sue
cession of beautiful days, but when one raw or
rainy one arrives at once there is chorus of COM
plant and we fancy ourselves very badly treated
BY Providence indeed. We forget entirely the
good we have had before. Therefore, taking it
altogether the grounding is to be commended
He came nearer to the truth than any of his rivals
Had he seen his shadow "the half of winters to
come aud mair." That is, it would have been
cold and icy. Such it has not been since his pre-
diction went into effect, and on Friday afternoon
the backbone of winter was broken by the thunder
if it was not absolutely washed out by the rain
Now let spring come and grumbling cease"
